We’ve all fallen, and we have the skinned knees and bruised hearts to prove it. But scars are easier to talk about than they are to show, with all the remembered feelings laid bare. And rarely do we see wounds that are in the process of healing. 

— Brené Brown

Owning our story can be hard, and it takes grace, courage and strength to lay it bare to the world. And in that strength comes vulnerability, for they go hand-in-hand after all. But we are all sisters of a universal tribe who will leave no one behind. We walk together, and raise each other up. We find strength in community, strength in bond, and strength in the knowing we are never quite alone.

When I was in my early 30's, I found myself at an unexpected place in my life. I was in the midst of separation, and ultimately divorce. It was unfamiliar and scary. I had no companion or confidant to help guide me through the waters of sadness and uncertainty.

When I was transitioning from marriage to separation, to divorce, it took a toll on my physical and mental body. I didn't necessarily have a lot of people to talk to about what I was going through and so for much of the emotional process, I was alone.

When I grew up, I didn't have the talks about boys, or relationships, or partnerships that some girls have with their mothers. We just weren't close in that way. I didn't grow up dating nor did I have the experience in relationships that some girls should have

Why is it that we don't talk about the hard stuff in life until after we are healed? Why is it that we don't share the hard truths while in the midst of heartache or despair? And why is it then, that we do not share our most vulnerable moments with one another while we are in those moments of raw emotion?

When I went through my divorce it was at a young age. At that time, my partner and I were the first ones of our group of friends to go through such a life event and I don't really know that many of our friends knew how to react. Some stayed friends, some picked sides but overall, and over the years, a distance grew.

In times of darkness, hurt and loss it can be extremely lonely and difficult. It can feel as though the weight of the world is sitting on our shoulders with no one to help carry the heavy burden. No one to listen. No one to comfort. No one to say, "It hurts now but it's going to be ok".
